“If England are there, we can knock them off” – Fighting talk from Gerwyn Price As He Fires Warning To Luke Littler And Luke Humphries
Gerwyn Price’s Bold Warning to Luke Littler and Luke Humphries Ahead of 2025 World Cup of Darts
Gerwyn Price, the world No. 10 and 2021 PDC World Champion, issued a defiant challenge to England’s “dream team” of Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, declaring, “If England are there, we can knock them off,” ahead of the 2025 World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt from June 12-15. Speaking to Sky Sports on June 9, 2025, Price, who will partner Jonny Clayton for Wales, emphasized their proven track record, stating, “Me and Jonny have won it twice. We’ve got the experience, and we’re not scared of anyone,” per www.skysports.com.
Price’s fighting talk comes as England, seeded No. 1 with world No. 1 Humphries and No. 2 Littler, are odds-on favorites at 4/11 to defend their title, per www.live-darts.com. The duo, who contested the 2025 Premier League final (Humphries won 11-8), boast a combined 103.45 and 101.29 season averages, respectively, per PDC.tv. Wales, seeded No. 2, have a formidable history, having defeated England (Michael Smith and Rob Cross) 3-0 in the 2020 final and winning again in 2023, per www.sportingnews.com.
Clayton echoed Price’s confidence, telling Sky Sports, “I don’t care if they’re world one and two. Jonny and Gezzy will stop them!” per @DartsNow_ on X. Analysts Laura Turner and Matt Edgar on Love The Darts podcast noted Wales’ dynamic, with Turner saying, “Price thrives under pressure, and Clayton’s world No. 5 form is exceptional,” but Edgar cautioned, “They can push England, but beating them is another question,” per www.skysports.com. Price’s recent 115.31 average against Littler in Bahrain 2025 bolsters his threat, per @OfficialPDC.
Despite England’s firepower, Price’s 170 checkout prowess and Clayton’s 43.7% doubles accuracy in 2024/25 make Wales a genuine contender, per dartsnews.com. Posts on X, like @RudiSchuberth, highlight the “electric” Wales vs. England clash looming, amplifying the anticipation.
